When the Realm Traversing Guardian King heard Fang Xingjian's question, he understood that the other party wanted to ask him about the Church's cultivation technique with regard to the Divine Country.

"The Imperial Preceptor's Divine Country is a lesser forging technique. It can be used as storage, but it won't have any use in battles."

Fang Xingjian asked, "Oh? Since there's a lesser technique, are there also mediocre techniques and superior techniques?"

"The lesser technique is like the Imperial Preceptor's—compressing a stretch of space directly and forming a Divine Country that is something like a storage tool. It's easy to create and can be casually abandoned. It won't be effective in trapping Divine level experts of the same level.

"Mediocre techniques set up layers of formation in a Divine Country. Not only will the Divine Country be sturdy, it can also drag the opponent into the Divine Country, thereby using the formations to deal with the enemy."

Fang Xingjian nodded. It was like what Alexander and the Sacred Fire Order's Patriarch had done. They had set up layers of formations in their Divine Countries, turning them into a mobile fortress.

However, once the opponent possessed the ability to dart through space like the ability that Fang Xingjian's Infiltrating Void Sword had or the Spatial Translocation ability that tier six Divine level experts had, then the Divine Country would not have much use.

Among these, the most important thing would be the formations' prowess. Fang Xingjian had planned on setting up the Celestial Eradication Sword Formation in his Divine Country.

The Realm Traversing Guardian King then continued, "As for the superior techniques, they keep on nurturing the Divine Country with microscopic powers after they are created. They would slowly change the characteristics of the Divine Country, turning it into a small world that's different from the outside world.

"Even if we were to enter such a Divine Country, it might be hard for us to get out."

Fang Xingjian's gaze flickered slightly. This required the constant use of microscopic level powers to interfere with the Divine Country's microscopic world, causing the entire Divine Country's law of physics to be different from the outside world.

It was different from how he used his own powers to negate all the gravitational forces in the Divine Country, causing the law of physics within and outside the Divine Country to be different. However, the greater the changes, the higher the requirements and the more complex it would be.

After all, it would be equivalent to using his own powers to replace the world's powers, interfering with the circulation of the entire world in the Divine Country.

This was clearly extremely difficult. Regardless of whether it was the tremendous amount of energy required or the world's circulation based on the new laws of physics, both areas needed to be stable. This required the cultivators to have an extremely deep understanding of the world.

Otherwise, the Divine Country would likely collapse and all efforts would go to waste.

Then once things were successful, one would be able to obtain a world that had different laws of physics with the outside world. Even if other experts of the microscopic realm were to enter the Divine Country, the chances of them dying would be extremely high.

Fang Xingjian asked, "Is there anyone in this world who can create a Divine Country with superior techniques?"

The Realm Traversing Guardian King shook his head. "I haven't heard of anyone capable of doing that in this land. In fact, there have only been two people in history who were able to create Divine Countries with superior techniques."

"Oh? Who are they?"

The Realm Traversing Guardian King replied, "The Hundred Blossoms Empress, who was the Tulip Dynasty's founder from 1,500 years ago, and the Formidable Divine King, who was Saint Adam's arch enemy from 1,000 years ago. Moreover, both of them had only achieved a Divine Country of this level after reaching tier six of the Divine level and stepping into the impeccable realm.

Fang Xingjian raised his brows as he understood how difficult it was to achieve this. Using his powers to change the laws of physics within an area was too difficult to do because of the needed requirements of one's realm or powers for someone who was at tier five of the Divine level.

So, this result was no different from what he had heard from the Black Mage King.

After ascertaining this, Fang Xingjian did not plan on wasting too much time on it. Instead, he planned to use this time to combine the powers of his Eternal Sword Seigneur's Sword Realm ability, the Celestial Eradication Sword Formation, and the Divine Country together.

With this, it meant that he would be able to sustain the sword formation constantly. When he wished to activate it, he would just need to bring out the Divine Country and would not have to waste time setting things up. Moreover, with the three abilities combined, it would mean that he had many more options to apply in the area of spatial changes.

The Realm Traversing Guardian King continued, "Imperial Preceptor, I've come here this time around primarily because the Saint wishes to invite you for a meeting and discuss important matters."

Fang Xingjian's gaze flickered. "When and where?"

"Seven days later, the Beize Region, Wolf's Howl Mountain."

After they agreed on the time for the meetup, the Realm Traversing Guardian King left with the third level of the mystical prints.

With the trade for the third level of the mystical prints, the Imperial Capital obtained several ten million gold worth of resources. The Church was in possession a tremendous amount of heavenly and earthly treasures—various treasures that could increase one's attributes, raise specialties, strengthen the physical body and will—and these were enough for Fang Xingjian's subordinates to gain a huge improvement to their abilities.

In the depths of the palace, a man with an unkempt beard and several tens of small braids followed Ferdinand as they continued walking deeper inside.

Half a month ago, the plains sent a team of envoys. This man was the leader of the envoy team—Hu Diaonan. Behind him, there were a few more men from the plains who were also a part of the envoy team.

Right now, as the plains had lost the leadership of the Heavenly Lion King as well as the 11 Sacred Generals, they were in a state of chaos. The leaders of many tribes rose up, plundering and engaging in battles all around.

As for those in the plains' headquarters, they could only hole up in their imperial capital.

This time around, the reason that Hu Diaonan came here was to request for assistance. Having lost the Heavenly Lion King's and 11 Sacred Generals' suppression, all of the plains were covered in bloodshed. Yet, there were still Conferred Knights from the Empire who had gone there to add fuel to the flames.

Hu Diaonan was aware that Fang Xingjian's only female disciple—Lilia—was one of those who headed to the plains. She was going after and killing the experts in the plains in a bid to gain more experience in her martial arts cultivation.

With Fang Xingjian's reputation, no one dared to seek revenge from Lilia even after many experts from numerous tribes had been killed.

To the plains, this was a humiliation they had never suffered before. However, Hu Diaonan knew that no matter how humiliating things were, he could only bear with it. In this trip to the Imperial City, he did not even dare to take the initiative to bring up the matter about Lilia.

He looked at Ferdinand with a fawning expression and asked, "Lord Ferdinand, thank you for helping to pass on the message this time around." With that, he gently stuffed a box into Ferdinand's arms.

Ferdinand received it without any expression then nodded and said, "It's thoughtful of you."

Hu Diaonan appeared elated when the gift was handed out, but he felt as if his heart was bleeding. The kingdom in the plains was vastly different from how it used to be in the past. Previously, in order to take over the Empire, a large number of elite warriors had followed the 11 Sacred Generals to head south.

However, the results were known to everyone. None of the warriors from the plains, who had ventured south, had returned to their hometown alive.

The kingdom suffered a great blow, and many tribes revolted. The national treasury was emptied, and it could be said that each gift Hu Diaonan sent out was like him breaking his teeth and swallowing them.

Moreover, Ferdinand—a member in the palace—was an important target he had to deal with. Over the past few days, the cost of the items Hu Diaonan gifted out had already exceeded one million gold. However, the other party still had not shown make his position clear. Therefore, Hu Diaonan kept on cursing inwardly that the people from the Empire were not doing anything despite continuously accepting money.

Seeing that Ferdinand was still not saying anything, Hu Diaonan was forced to ask, "Sir, what does the Imperial Preceptor think about the matter concerning the plains?" He asked, feeling aggrieved, "The plains are now in a state of chaos, and the people are living difficult lives. It's very hard for the kingdom to hang on, and it's no longer easy to get our hands on resources to offer to the Empire."
